@Kaybobx whahahahaah!!! I think we are pretty mixed lol!! Maybe 50/50 lol

Thank you awwww thank you I am glad I can provide hope I think we are pretty awesome at lifting each other up think we got a pretty awesome bunch here havent we?

I like FF because it puts everything close together lol mine is also all dodgy. Are you going to get the easy@home thermometer? I am still using the femometer one it was the cheapest lol!!! But going to temp vaginally think the fan, hot and cold nights have really affected my temps so will be good to see if vag is better going to start it from tomorrow.
Have you played around on FF they have really cool things when it confirms ovulation if you click on analysis it gives so much insight about your chart.

Did hubby take his test?

@candycrush2298 We certainly do have a fab bunch Smile

Ive only just downloaded it so having a play around now, it is pretty cool. Although it reads different to my other apps. I have no idea what DPO i am or even if i actually ovulated!! I'll have a shop for thermometers later, i liked the easy@home one just because it links to the app haha.

No we haven't done it yet. He was too interested in his playstation last night and i went to bed at 9pm lol. Was going to do it this morning but he's still in bed!!

PinkRoseFlower · 08/08/2020 09:01

@candycrush2298 Sorry to hear your temp has dropped and you feel like AF is on the way 🙁 sending positive vibes for next cycle!

@NamechangeTTC that sounds rough, hope you feel better soon!

Elakiya · 08/08/2020 09:13

Lol looks like most of you are from Scotland! @snapple21 Where are you from?

@candycrush2298 How is the graph looking today :D has it risen?

Going to go and take an opk. Also just exercised so need to go and check everything is okay. The heat wave is making me so tired!

Elakiya · 08/08/2020 09:16

@candycrush2298 Sorry just saw the graph on the other page. At least you know you're temping right and all this will be so helpful for doctors if you ever need to use them.

Have you guys seen that thread called insert month Bus. Currently it's August Bus. They then has a July Bus graduates thread in the pregnancy section. I thought that was a really nice idea.

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 09:17

@Kaybobx hahaah cool yeah makes sense and it has a back-light which will help in winter lol!!

Awwww man come on hubby I am dying here lol!!!

@PinkRoseFlower thanks so much hun appreciate it xx

@Elakiya nooooo it dropped to below coverline (picture on previous page xx)
And if I remember correctly @snapple21 is Lancs side. How you? Anymore spotting?

Elakiya · 08/08/2020 09:33

@candycrush2298 sorry saw it after I posted but genuinely having this kind of info is super useful for the gynae and AF arriving means you’re ready to start again 😁

Yep I’ve just wiped blood but only a small amount. OPK’s gone back up to high ( control line and test line are the same darkness)z

Elakiya · 08/08/2020 09:36

See what I mean lol! Maybe I didn’t ovulate the first time and body is attempting again

snapple21 · 08/08/2020 09:40

That's a strong positive @Elakiya !
I'm lancs yes.

My temp is still up on my chart so I think I deffo ovulated day18. Unless this uti is screwing with my temps!

Elakiya · 08/08/2020 09:45

@snapple21 this would be my 5th day of strong positives lol 😂 well this is an interesting month.

I’ve never had a uti. Does it hurt? Will the medication interfere with trying to conceive?

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 09:46

@Elakiya lol no worries, yes its all super beneficial for the doctors to see whats been happening. I am thinking there must be something inside that's wrong maybe like a blocked tube or something I mean there has to be some issue for 2 years and no luck.

Awwww no so sorry that the first attempt wasn't a success. Good luck that this one one is a succuss xx. Have you ever read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler? I have just started and I have literally seen 100's of posts saying how this transformed their life.

@snapple21 yay for confirmed ovulation, can your temp really be effected by a UTI?

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 08/08/2020 09:52

@candycrush2298 we've just taken the sample! Spew!! I was literally gagging thats so rank haha!! 30 mins wait now haha!!

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 09:55

@Kaybobx whahahaha did you use the left overs???? Whahahahah let us know the updates xx
Is it the one that's like a pregnancy test where its two lines for fine and 1 line for not?

OP posts:
snapple21 · 08/08/2020 09:59

@Elakiya I'm keen to avoid antibiotics going to give it a few days and see if it runs its course. I've sent a sample to the GP in case.

Kaybobx · 08/08/2020 10:02

@candycrush2298 i couldn't really use any of it. You put the sample into a funnel attached to a test tube, leave it for 30 mins to turn to liquid then drop some dye in it. Wait another 30 mins and whatever colour it is you have to match to a chart which has postive colours and negative colours. Will show you when its done lol

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 10:07

@Kaybobx ooooh this sounds so sophisticated lol!!! K can't wait lol!!

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 08/08/2020 11:34

Sorry you have all now seen my husband's sperm hahahaha!!!

@candycrush2298 we are on the + side so all good 😊 woohoo!
There's another test in the box so will do it again next week to confirm. We'll still have to do the NHS one unfortunately else they won't help us.

snapple21 · 08/08/2020 11:47

@Kaybobx what does it actually test for?

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 11:57

@Kaybobx whoohoo so that is just checking sperm count hey its not checking motility?

Thats amazing whoohoo soo pleased I know we also still have to do nhs SA but at least we know not to fear when they go.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 08/08/2020 12:50

This is the one we brought. Apparently it tests concentration and ability to swim. We will of course still go for the NHS test but this was more for abit of peace of mind for hubby as he blames himself after all my tests were clear

I had a greyish brown blood clot? What in the world is that? I think if unsuccessful this month I am going to stop for a couple of months. Something is clearly wrong with my body and I am super paranoid about having a child with a disability ( because I am concerned about how good their quality of life would be especially without me).

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 13:42

@Kaybobx oooooh thats awesome it tests exactly what ours did we used Yo so that's fab. And yeah will be actually really cool to get the NHS test and compare the accuracy.

@Elakiya omg so sorry I have no idea what that is but definitely think you need to see the gynae. My friend would not stop bleeding (constant not like yours) and she was passing all sorts of things hers was a polyps.

So definitely think you need to speak to the doctor

OP posts:
Boc86 · 08/08/2020 13:54

@candycrush2298 gosh no I’m the same I totally forget who I’ve spoken with!
I’m not sure on the SA as ive not looked into issues with the man

@Kaybobx oh that testing is interesting!

@Elakiya are you ovulating and spotting?

candycrush2298 · 08/08/2020 14:49

@Boc86 whahaha oh that makes me feel better lol. Oh ok well hopefully we can find out soon because Google hasn't been helpful.

AF started a few hours ago so another 12 day luteal phase maybe last month was an anomaly with 14 days. Was so hopeful it lengthened oh well 12 days is still good.

Kaybobx · 08/08/2020 15:29

@candycrush2298 oh mannnn I'm so sorry 😞 I'm literally more confident for you than myself each cycle too.
